SIMPLE, FUN, & AFFORDABLE
We believe learning to fly fish should be fun, simple, and affordable. Our Fly Fishing 101 course is the perfect place to start, taught by instructors who take a lighthearted but genuinely invested approach. Held at our resort on the world-famous Yakima River, this hands-on class is designed to build your confidence and skills on the water.
